Advantages of Fiber Optics: Security
Optical fiber systems also offer more security than traditional mediums. Coaxial cables can leak information due to magnetic interference. However, optical fiber do not have this problem. Due to this decreased radiation, eavesdropping is made much more difficult and fiber optic transmission mediums are currently one of the most secure methods of information transfer. There are some types of optical fibers which are claimed to be impossible to tap.
